GLDS Welcomes Carl Sanders
 
We're VERY happy to welcome Carl Sanders to the GLDS Technical Support family.  Carl joins us as an Account Manager and brings a solid background in new customer implementations.  With more than 5 years experience in DST Innovis/AMDOCS' Implementations department, he's helped more than 35 operators through various implementation projects.  Carl is a graduate of West Point Military Academy with a Bachelors degree in Engineering and is relocating to the Carlsbad area from Sacramento, CA. 

We're pleased to have Carl and trust he'll add a lot to an already talented Tech Support team.
Our Newest VOD Partner

GLDS is pleased to announce that MiTV has successfully completed integration between their Hospitality Business Management Center (BMC) and WinCable. This integration will allow WinCable customers to more easily provide VOD and interactive TV services to hotel guests.
MiTV
MiTV's BMC allows cable operators to integrate their billing system with a hotel's Property Management System (PMS), giving them the ability to bill each guest on a real-time basis for services. Cable operators will be able to expand their market into the hospitality industry by delivering innovative services other than the standard free-to-guest programming.  "Today, hotels can offer video on demand, pay-per-view, parental control and HD programming to their hotel guests," according to Miguel Kramis, C.E.O of MiTV.  "These are all new services that generate revenue for both the property and the operator." 

The integration has been lab tested and will soon be installed at our first mutual client.

NOW HIRING
GLDS is looking for a few enthusiastic people to add to our team.  We currently have openings in our Carlsbad, CA office for an Addressable Engineer

Candidates should have LOTS of experience with addressability, and be skilled in the use of GLDS billing and addressable products.

The catch?  GLDS has a policy of NEVER hiring current employees from our customers.  It's an ethical thing with us.  However, if you know of qualified people who have recently left the employ of a GLDS customer please let us know!  We're always looking for the best people to serve our software users worldwide.

SUBMIT A TIP
Each month we publish a WinCable tip that, we hope, helps makes using WinCable even easier.  Most times these tips come from within GLDS but occasionally, we get a great tip from a customer.
 
Are there some features, tricks or shortcuts that you've found useful?  If so, send them to us.  If we use your Tip in our newsletter, we'll send you a GLDS-branded gift as our way of saying thanks!
